Our campus has been studying the use of iPads in both library and classroom settings this fall.
The latest part of our iPad pilot concerned using the iPad in classroom settings. We have a set of five iPads for classroom use, so it really requires thought on the teacher’s part in thinking about how the tool fits into their curriculum and how to make it work from a practical level. -

"eClicker is a personal response system that allows teachers to poll their class during a lesson. It provides real time feedback so that teachers can be sure their messages are being received. Developed for smartphones, netbooks, and laptops, eClicker leverages the hardware already in the hands of many students and thus provides a low cost alternative to the expensive infrared based systems on the market. All you need to get started is the eClicker Host application, a few Wi-Fi enabled devices with a web browser, and a Wi-Fi network."

24p Scribd doc detailing apps for Special Education. This is a list of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps for education and special education. Each app in the list includes a one sentence description by the author.
The app descriptions were based on App Store descriptions and personal trials. The author did not personally trial every app. Promo codes were provided for iPrompts, iCommunicate, MathSpin, and My Friend Isabelle.
The app descriptions provide some information regarding iPhone, iPad and iPod touch compatibility. To adequately determine device compatibility, carefully read the app's description and requirements on the App Store. -
